You should be very concerned about this - institutionally they are known to be exhaustive and tireless (and to make oodles of money). OK, 1 minute ago, Mlle. Zabzie said: I expanded.

Instead, they're provoking. That kind of plays into it, doesn't it? If they are indeed in bed with one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see anyone answer, but no, he cannot. Only Congress can remove the VP. He could, of course, request his resignation, but he cannot force it.

The timeline does not seem to be quite as damning. Still distressing though. Ah, I didn't catch that. That does take some air out of the balloon.

If one buys into the idea, yes. A pawn sacrifice to give Trump an opportunity to look strong and undermine some of the current thoughts re: Trump et the Russians.

Mexal Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This Trump press conference is nuts. "The leaks are real but the news is fake". What the fuck? "There is no chaos, this is a fine tuned machine" as he fired his NSC, is inundated with leaks and had his Labor Secretary withdraw nomination.

Werthead Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 He's standing up there spouting self-contradictary gibberish. That journalist who pointed out the logical fallacy in what Trump said got shot down pretty quick and then Trump went on about talk shows only recruiting "anti-Trump" people but it's okay because their ratings are shit. This guy is a fucking moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could, of course, request his resignation, but he cannot force it. Trump can also tell the RNC in 2020 that he wants a different person nominated for VP for that election, and I can't imagine them saying no. In somewhat surprising news, the New Hampshire House has killed right-to-work legislation and banned any consideration of future bills trying to implement it for the duration of this legislature, so until 2019. Its surprising because Republicans have a 226-173-1 majority in the House there; but the vote was 200-177 to kill it; with 23 absenting (probably unable to attend because of the snow storm). So at least 27 Republicans there voted against right-to-work, even though the Republican governor had made it his number one priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harren the Black Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Its a crazy speech/conference. He goes "I had a great electoral win. The highest since Reagan" Then the press asks: "what about Obama? " "I was talking about republican presidents". Then: "What about George H.W. Bush?" . "Well I don't know, someone told me this. Someone gave me this information".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 “I would be your biggest fan in the world if you treated me right” Did the President of the United States of America just say this? His aides need to get him some hot cocoa and a pacifier. Alec Baldwin is at home shaking his head and saying, "Nope. Got nothing. Can't top this."

Werthead Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 "We had Hillary Clinton give 20% of the uranium in our country. You know what uranium is, right? It's a thing called nuclear weapons and other things like lots of...things are done with uranium including some bad things." Forget the President of the United States, this is an adult human being saying this? Ignore the fact it's bullshit, it's just bizarre behaviour. ETA: "I can't believe I'm saying I'm a politician, but I guess that's what I am now." "Nuclear holocaust would be like no other." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
